I’m 18 and I used to work at a nursing home. I have respiratory trauma which make it hard for me to breathe pretty much all the time. They fit me for a 3M n95 mask and asked if I had any health problems and I gave them the extensive list along with the lung problems… they said ok and that they would review it. I’m assuming they didnt because the next day I went to work and my supervisor said that I’m good to start wearing the n95 mask. I told her about my breathing problems and how I didn’t think I would be able to wear it (we only had to wear it when we went in the covid wing so it wasn’t required). She said that I would be fine and that I would be working in the covid wing all day. Ok. Fine. Whatever. I can’t do anything. So I go in the covid wing with the n95 and a half an hour into my shift I start feeling really light headed. I leave (and after properly disposing things) I go back to the office and tell my supervisor that I’m starting to not feel great. She tells me to go back to work. Ok. Fine. Whatever. I go back to the wing (with all the PPE) and push past the dizziness. Forty minutes later I pass out in the hallway. Ten minutes later someone finds me. I wake up in the office- face pale and lips blue. Supervisor sends me back to work… in the covid wing… with the n95. Said n, told her I quit, went home. She sent me many texts and called me many times and I blocked her. The sucky thing is is that this is going to affect me finding a job in the future. I did go in the next day and told HR what happened and signed the papers. They said “you know we really prefer a four week notice.” I said no. Signed the papers while they were trying to convince me to stay and walked out while they were still talking. Said bye to some residents and left.
